In Venice yesterday, Emma Watson was seen strolling alongside Brandon Green, the son of Sir Philip Green, sparking rumors of a possible romantic relationship between the two. Emma, dressed in a red and white dress with black sandals, was photographed holding hands with Mr. Green as they boarded a boat in the picturesque city. This new relationship comes after Emma’s recent split from businessman Leo Robinton. Despite previous claims of being content on her own, Emma seems to be enjoying her time with Brandon, who has reportedly been romantically pursuing her. The pair was first seen together last September in London, disembarking from a helicopter. Emma’s unexpected relationship has surprised friends, but the actress seems happy with her new status, having previously spoken about being “self-partnered” rather than single.
Ms. Watson previously endorsed the idea of being ‘self-partnered’, but it seems like she might be reconsidering her stance now.
In stunning photos unveiled on Friday, Emma Watson, 32, showcased her famous pixie cut once again as she was announced as the new ambassador for Prada Beauty, celebrating a ‘femininity that pushes boundaries’. The actress also shared that she prefers to rely on friends from her time in university and outside of the film industry when it comes to dating, rather than using dating apps, stating, ‘My friends are really good at setting me up.’
The announcement of Miss Watson as the face of Prada’s latest fragrance campaign was met with excitement. The luxury fashion brand even hinted that she would be making her directorial debut with a short film for the campaign.
Stunning: The actress absolutely dazzled in the artistic images captured by Harley Weir for the latest fragrance campaign, Paradoxe. Her minimalistic skin makeup was perfectly paired with striking eyeliner for a truly captivating look.

Quirky: Emma stood confidently in outfits from the designer brand Mr Green, a label associated with high fashion and elegance. Mr. Green, who was once named one of Tatler’s ‘most eligible’ individuals in 2014, made headlines for playfully patting Kate Moss’s bottom during a vacation in St. Barts.
Emma Watson, a passionate environmental advocate, has been vocal about her beliefs. Similarly, Mr. Green has taken steps to live up to his last name by becoming involved in environmental initiatives. His interest in saving the planet was sparked by the downfall of his father’s Arcadia Group empire, which housed popular brands like Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, and Burton.
According to a source, Mr. Green is actively involved in biodiversity and ocean conservation efforts. He collaborates with foundations led by Monaco’s Prince Albert and Princess Charlene, participating in charity events, gala dinners, and beach clean-ups to support environmental causes.
Emma Watson’s long-standing commitment to environmental activism raises curiosity about her thoughts on the sustainability practices of the family of her rumored beau. Brandon Green, the son of Sir Philip Green, inherited his father’s fast-fashion business that faced a downfall in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic’s impact on sales.
Sir Philip Green, known for his extravagant lifestyle, owns luxurious assets like polluting superyachts and private jets. With an estimated net worth of £910 million, the tycoon and his wife Tina were the proud owners of multiple yachts, including the impressive 90-meter superyacht named Lionheart valued at over £100 million.
At the London Fashion Week 2016, the Green family, including Sir Philip Green, Chloe Green, and Brandon Green, were captured in a photo. In 2016, Sir Philip allegedly acquired a Gulfstream G650ER private jet worth around £46 million. His business decisions have stirred controversy, especially when he sold BHS for a mere £1 in 2015, leading to calls for him to be stripped of his knighthood. The collapse of BHS a year later with a pension deficit of £571 million further fueled the criticism.
In contrast, actress Miss Watson, known for her environmental activism, had a different approach. During the COP26 summit last year, she strategically placed her favorite climate activism books across Glasgow. Highlighting the significance of sustainability in fashion, Miss Watson consciously opts for ethically produced clothing for her red carpet appearances, a stark contrast to the fast fashion ethos associated with Sir Philip’s former brand, Topshop.
